INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to discuss the hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste (HTRW) investigation for the Chicago Shoreline Storm Damage Reduction Project, Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project. This report presents an HTRW investigation to update and further discuss the environmental issues given in the Illinois Shoreline Erosion Interim III study by the U.S Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), July 1993. The Illinois Shoreline Erosion Interim III study presented a Final Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment for storm damage reduction measures to address the flooding, storm damage, and erosion problems along Lake Michigan extending from Wilmette Harbor south to the Illinois State Line. This HTRW investigation and report is specific to Chicago Shoreline, Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project. This report identifies both HTRW and non-HTRW environmental issues, and presents appropriate measures to resolve these issues. The methods used in performing the investigation are described in detail. Conclusions and recommendations regarding potential impacts due to HTRW and non-HTRW issues associated with the project site are provided. AUTHORITY Engineer Regulation (ER) 1165-2-132, Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Guidance for Civil Works projects, requires that a site investigation be conducted as early as possible to identify and evaluate potential HTRW problems. According to ER 1165-2-132, non-HTRW issues that do not comply with the federal, state, and local regulations should be discussed in the HTRW investigation along with HTRW issues. Therefore, HTRW and non-HTRW issues identified are discussed in this report. This report was performed at the level of detail required for a Reconnaissance Phase investigation and relies on existing information, observations made through database research, a site visit, an aerial photograph and historical document review. As stated in the ER-1165-2-132, an initial assessment as appropriate for a Reconnaissance Study should be conducted as a first priority for projects with no prior HTRW consideration. If the initial assessment indicated the potential for HTRW, testing, as warranted, and analysis similar to a Feasibility Study should be conducted prior to proceeding with the project design. No HTRW investigation can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for HTRW associated with a project area. Performance of the HTRW investigation is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for HTRW in connection with a project area, and this practice recognizes time and cost constraints.

GUIDANCE Supplemental guidance was provided by the American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (Designation: E 1527-05). These standards include a records review, site visit and report preparation. This report followed many of the ASTM E 1527-05 guidelines but not to the same level of detail described by the ASTM E 1527-05 guidance. Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste The objective of ER 1165-2-132 is to outline procedures to facilitate early identification and appropriate consideration of HTRW problems. This investigation, therefore, identifies potential HTRW problems and discusses resolutions and/or provides recommendations regarding the HTRW problems identified. Non-Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste According to ER 165-2-132, non-HTRW environmental issues that do not comply with federal, state and local regulations should be discussed in the HTRW investigation along with HTRW issues. For example, petroleum releases for Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTs) are not considered to be HTRW, but are regulated under the Illinois Administrative Code (IAC), Title 35, Part 731 - Underground Storage Tanks, Part 732 - Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks, and Part 742 - Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO). These sites have the potential to impose environmental hazards. LAWS AND REGULATIONS Federal The definition of HTRW according to the ER 1165-2-132 on page 1 paragraph 4(a) reads as follows: Except for dredged material and sediments beneath navigable waters proposed for dredging, for purposes of this guidance, HTRW includes any material listed as a "hazardous substance" under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq (CERCLA). (See 42 U.S.C. 9601(14).) Hazardous substances regulated under CERCLA include "hazardous wastes" under Sec. 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6921 et seq; "hazardous substances" identified under Section 311 of the Clean Air Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321, "toxic pollutants" designated under Section 307 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1317, "hazardous air pollutants" designated under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, 42

U.S.C. 7412; and "imminently hazardous chemical substances or mixtures" on which EPA has taken action under Section 7 of the Toxic Substance Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2606; these do not include petroleum or natural gas unless already included in the above categories. (See 42 U.S.C. 9601(14).) As stated in the definition of hazardous substance in the Environmental Statutes, 1988 Edition, the term does not include petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, which is not otherwise specifically listed or designated as a hazardous substance under the definition. Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are federally regulated under 40 CFR Part 280, which includes technical standards and corrective action requirements for owner and operators of USTs. State The Illinois State regulations were examined to determine which regulations governed the state specific hazardous waste disposal, release, and cleanup requirements. Illinois regulates USTs under Illinois Administrative Code, Title 35, Subtitle G, Chapter I, Subchapter D, Part 731, Underground Storage Tanks. The definition of a regulated substance under this regulation means any “hazardous substance” or “petroleum”. Hazardous substance UST is defined as an UST system that contains a “hazardous substance” or any mixture of “hazardous substances” and “petroleum” which is not a petroleum UST system. The petroleum UST means any UST system that contains petroleum or a mixture of petroleum with minimal quantities of other regulated substances. Owners and operators of petroleum or hazardous substance UST systems must comply with the requirements of Part 731 except for USTs excluded under Section 731.110(b) and UST systems subject to RCRA corrective action requirements under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724.200, 724.296, 725.296 or 725 Subpart G. Other Illinois hazardous waste regulations included in 35 Illinois Administrative Code Subtitle G, Chapter I, Waste Disposal include Subchapter b, Permits; Subchapter c, Hazardous Waste Operating Requirements; Subchapter d, Part 738, Hazardous Waste Injection Restrictions; Subchapter e, Specific Hazardous Waste Management Standards; and Subchapter h, Illinois “Superfund” Program. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Chicago Shoreline Storm Damage Reduction Project is a cooperative project between USACE and the City of Chicago and Chicago Park District. The Chicago Shoreline Project addresses storm damage, flooding, and erosion problems along the Lake Michigan shoreline of Chicago (see Figure 1). The primary rationale for the federal component is to provide flood protection for Lake Shore Drive, a federal highway located just west of the Chicago shoreline. The Chicago Park District owns about eighty-five percent of the Chicago shoreline; the land makes up Chicago’s extensive lakefront park system and contains valuable recreational resources for both residents and visitors. The most significant shoreline problems and resultant threats to the highway and parkland are

in the reaches where the current protection structures have deteriorated and are near functional failure.
Figure 1. Chicago Shoreline Protection Project SITE DESCRIPTION The Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project is located approximately 2.6 miles north of the City of Chicago loop along the Lake Michigan Shoreline. The project limits begin approximately 600 feet north of W. Fullerton Parkway and ends approximately 750 feet south of the same. The project area (MAP) is adjacent to the west shore of Lake Michigan, in the SE ¼, ¼ of Section 28 and the NE ¼, ¼ of Section 33, T40N R14E of the 3rd principal meridian, and is shown on the Chicago Loop (Illinois) USGS 7.5’ topographic quadrangle map. The project site includes park land and lakefront trails as well as the Theater-on-the-Lake facility. The area to the immediate west across from

Parkway, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. The deteriorated revetment here would be replaced with steel sheet pile and stepped concrete revetment. Additional fill would expand the park. This land would provide a buffer from Lake Michigan wave action and thus prevent the commonly occurring flooding of the Fullerton Parkway-Lake Shore Drive intersection. The additional land would also serve as a buffer to protect the historic Theater-on-the-Lake from future coastal erosion. GENERAL METHODS The following sections contain information that was requested and gathered in accordance with ER 1165-2-132 for this assessment. The information was obtained from:
• Existing information review • Database research • Historical document and aerial photograph review • Site visit
This information was used to determine if the selected plan for Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project will have an impact on any HTRW occurrences that may exist in the surrounding areas, and if HTRW problems will have an impact on the implementation of the selected plan. The information gathered from the above list of sources is detailed in the following sections. EXISTING INFORMATION REVIEW Lincoln Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (listed 1994). West of the project area and across Lake Shore Drive is the Buena Park Historic District (listed 1984). The adjacent Theater-on-the-Lake was built prior to 1905 as the Chicago Daily News Fresh Air Sanitarium (a tuberculosis hospital for infants); during WW2 it was used by the USO, and since the early 1950s has been a summer theater. The project area is manmade artificial Lake Michigan shoreline consisting entirely of post-1920 landfill with park land created through heavily landscape modification that included grading, blading and filling to create the present park landscape. The present shoreline is armored with boulder revetments (installed in 1925) and topped with a concrete walkway (constructed 1946-1949). The adjacent lakebed immediately offshore contains no structures or historic properties, and has been disturbed by filling and wave action. No intact archaeological deposits are present.

Sediment Type-Quality Based on a review of information presented in a HTRW report prepared for another nearby proposed shoreline improvement as well as the grain-size analyses and environmental testing performed for this project in October, 2011 (see Appendix D for lab testing results), the sediments are generally composed of coarse to fine grained poorly-graded clean sands, with little or trace amounts of silt, overlaying inorganic and that the sediments do not contain significant levels of contaminants since sand does not readily absorb contaminants and is constantly being washed by the wave action (USACE 1993). In conjunction with the above noted October, 2011 investigation four (4) sediment samples were recovered from the North Avenue Beach area and submitted to an independent IEPA accredited laboratory and tested for USEPA TCL parameters (totals) which includes testing for Chlorinated Pesticides and PCBs, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Semivolatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs), Metals included on the Target Analyte List (TAL) and 815A Herbicides. Test results, which are included in Appendix D, indicate all samples were non-detect for all VOCs, SVOCs, PCBs, Herbicides and Pesticides. Various Metals were detected in all samples, however, all detected Metals were satisfactory for IEPA specified TACO Tier 1 residential soil cleanup objectives, and below Class I groundwater ingestion exposure route values. Water Quality Based on information presented in a HTRW report prepared for the Reach 4 project area between 33rd and 43rd Streets, the water quality of near shore Lake Michigan in Illinois is good. It was noted in this HTRW that the open waters of Lake Michigan were placed on the Illinois 303(d) list of impaired waterways in 1998 and remained on the 2002 listing. Listing of Lake Michigan was based on monitoring data collected from the Lake Michigan Monitoring Program, fish tissue analysis data, and other monitoring data collected from non-IEPA programs. According to the Illinois Water Quality Report for 2002, all 63 miles of the Lake Michigan shoreline have been assessed for potential use impairments. In general, the open waters of Lake Michigan fully support overall, aquatic life, primary contact, secondary contact uses; do not support fish consumption; and the public water supply is listed as a threatened resource. 0.6 miles of Lake Michigan harbors do not support aquatic life, and 42.6 miles of beach area either partially or do not support primary contact. The potential causes for the impairments are listed as priority organics and PCBs for all 63 miles, with pathogens affecting 42.6 miles and metals affecting 0.6 miles. The potential sources of the impairments include non-point sources such as urban runoff/storm sewers, atmospheric deposition, contaminated sediments, and other unknown sources, with industrial sources, combined sewage overflows, and waterfowl affecting a small portion of the near shore Lake waters (IEPA 2002(a) and (b)). At the same time the four (4) sediment samples were recovered for the above noted October, 2011 investigation, twelve (12) water samples were recovered and submitted for
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION FULLERTON SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT PROJECT NO. 12166 CHICAGO SHORELINE, COOK COUNTY, IL
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 PAGE 8 OF 14
the same testing as performed for the sediment samples. Test results which are included in Appendix D, indicates all water samples were satisfactory for Class I Groundwater Remediation Objectives (GWOs) with the exception of sample GSI-11 W @48th which detected Lead at 0.009 ppm. This detected level slightly exceeds the Class I GWO of 0.0075 ppm but is satisfactory for the Class II GWO of 0.1 ppm The Environmental Assessment concluded that implementation of the selected plan will have no significant impact on the quality of water in Lake Michigan. The removal and replacement of existing clean stone and resulting sediment displacement and pile-driving activities will cause some short term and localized increases in turbidity in the construction areas, but no significant release of contaminants is expected (USACE 1993).
Soil Quality It is our understanding that no site specific Soil Quality investigations were performed for the proposed Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project, however, according to information presented in the above noted HTRW performed for the Reach 4 project area between 33rd and 43rd Streets, due to the unknown nature of the fill materials that were used to build out the existing Chicago Shoreline, the soil quality is largely unknown. This report also noted that sampling in various reaches along the Chicago Shoreline revealed elevated levels of metals above normal background concentrations, particularly arsenic and lead, and elevated levels of semi-volatiles above the TACO Tier 1 Residential exposure route-specific values, specifically for Polynuclear Aromatics (PNAs). It is assumed that these conditions could potentially also apply for the soils in the vicinity of the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project. The IEPA has allowed for the use of background values for PNAs and arsenic in soil comparisons due to the widespread nature of their elevated levels in the Chicago area. Defense Environmental Restoration Program/Formerly Used Defense Sites The U.S. Army built the first Nike missile batteries in the early 1950s to guard major metropolitan areas from an aerial attack and they were considered the last line of defense for the United States against a developing technology in air warfare. At that time, the former Soviet Union was placing significant efforts in the design and deployment of long-range bombers. The Nike program deployed three separate types of missiles, the Ajax, the Hercules, and the Zeus. The typical Nike Missile sites consisted of an Integrated Fire/Battery Control Area and a Launch Area, located on two separate parcels of land separated by 1-2 miles to facilitate the necessary distance and equipment restrictions that involved successfully interaction of the two areas. The Control Area housed the ground-based radar and computer systems; systems designed to detect and track incoming enemy aircraft and to guide missiles to their target. The Launch area housed the launch control trailer, the missile assembly and test building, underground storage magazines, and launcher-loader assemblies. Due to
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION FULLERTON SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT PROJECT NO. 12166 CHICAGO SHORELINE, COOK COUNTY, IL
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 PAGE 9 OF 14
the nature of site activities, there are several potential sources of contamination that can be found on Nike sites, depending on the site-specific operations associated with each site. Some of these potential sources include: on-site disposal of waste fluids (petroleum, oils and lubricants); spills of solvents, anticorrosion products and paints associated with missile assembly; leaks from diesel, fuel oil and gasoline storage tanks; solvent, fuel and lubricant spills associated with motor pool; septic systems; and volatile materials associated with the warhead/fueling area drainage system (DOE RL-93-47, Rev. 0). Nike Missile sites C-40 and C-41 were located on the south side of the City of Chicago, see Figure 4. C-40, located in Burnham Park, had three separate locations; the Launch area was located on the Lake Michigan Shoreline across from the end of 28th Street. There was a Housing area located just south of the Launch area, across from the end of 29th Street, and the Control area was ¾ mile south of the Housing area, across from 35th Street. C-41, located in Jackson Park, also had three separate locations; the Control area was located on the Lake Michigan Shoreline across from the end of 55th Street. The Launch area was located ¾ mile south of the Control area at 61st Street, and the Housing area was just south of the Launch area, across from the end of 62nd Street. None of these missile sites are located on or adjacent to the Fullerton Project project site (CELRL Nike Status Report).

Environmental Assessment The Environmental Assessment presented in the Illinois Shoreline Erosion Interim III Study (USACE 1993) concluded that the Chicago Shoreline selected alternative, which includes placement of a steel structure with concrete step stones and armor stone, “will not have significant effects on the quality of human life” and “will not cause a significant impact upon the quality of the biological, social, cultural, or physical resources of the area.” Therefore, no Environmental Impact Statement was required. The Finding of No Significant Impact is included in Appendix A. DATABASE SEARCH As part of the regulatory review, we have reviewed database listings obtained from Freedom of Information Requests (FOIRs) to various Illinois State and Federal Agencies and online regulatory databases to identify potential Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), i.e., environmental concerns relating to operating risks and potential liabilities associated with the Property. In addition to the noted sources, we also obtained an Environmental Radius Report (Radius Report) prepared by FirstSearch Technology Corporation (FirstSearch) dated September 28, 2012. The FirstSearch Radius Report is used as a screening tool to identify sites with potential or existing environmental liabilities based on Federal and State supplied databases in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527-05. Included in the FirstSearch Environmental Report are computer generated GIS Maps that locate the potential sites of concern. We have reviewed and edited the FirstSearch information supplied to us to determine if there are additional sites that might not be properly mapped and corrected any potential errors. These omissions, errors and corrections are typically related to facilities lacking sufficient geographic data to be properly located and/or typographical errors presented in the regulatory sources. Included in Appendix B is a copy of the FirstSearch Radius Report. Also included in Appendix B are tables summarizing the search protocols employed by Geo Services, Inc. (GSI). Following is a summary of the regulatory review relative to the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project and the nearest regulated facilities: Site – The Theater-on-the-Lake is identified as a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) with no violations, compliance or enforcement issues. According to a review of Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) reported spills and releases of chemicals and petroleum products, there are no documented releases at the Property. Adjoining Facilities – No adjoining facilities were identified on any of the regulatory data bases reviewed for this project. According to a review of IEMA reported spills and releases of chemicals and petroleum products, there are no documented releases at any adjoining properties.
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION FULLERTON SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT PROJECT NO. 12166 CHICAGO SHORELINE, COOK COUNTY, IL
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 PAGE 11 OF 14
Offsite Regulated Facilities – There are two (2) Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTs) and one (1) Illinois Site Remediation Program (SRP) facilities located within the search radii employed for this investigation which are summarized below:
• Diversey Yacht Club (~0.40 miles northwest): On 4/20/2000, a gasoline release was reported for LUST Incident #20000763. In response to a Corrective Action Completion Report (CACR) received on 12/6/2000, the IEPA issued a No Further Remediation (NFR) letter on 2/6/2001. Based on proximity to the project site and the NFR status, this LUST is not considered to be a REC to the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project.
• 2400 Lakeview Condo (~0.45 miles west): On 7/6/1995, a petroleum product
release was reported for Incident #95144. This release is still unresolved and the IEPA has no documentation regarding any remediation performed at the site. However, based on proximity to the Property, this LUST is not considered to be a REC to the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project.
• Francis Parker School (~0.45 miles west): This site entered into the IEPA Site
Remediation Program (SRP) on 4/27/2012 and is still actively involved in the program. Based on proximity to the Property and its ongoing participation in the SRP, this facility is not considered to be a REC to the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project.
No other State or Federally documented facilities were identified within the search protocols employed for this investigation. In addition, according to the USEPA Enforcement & Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, there are no significant violators in near proximity to the Property. Based on readily available information, proximity to the project site and local hydrogeologic conditions, it is our opinion that none of the regulated facilities identified for this investigation qualify as a REC to the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH AND HISTORICAL REVIEW Reviewing documents such as aerial photographs, USGS topographic maps, and historical accounts can identify potential HTRW issues. Indications of potential HTRW issues can be determined by identifying the past land use and site activities at the project area and surrounding areas. Identifying industrial and residential areas, observing any evidence of dumping activities, and locating extensive areas that lack vegetation can determine indications of potential HTRW issues. For this project GSI was able to review, historical aerial photographs dated 1938, 1952, 1962, 1988, 2007 and 2012 and Chicago Loop Quadrangle maps dated 1891 and 1913.
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION FULLERTON SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT PROJECT NO. 12166 CHICAGO SHORELINE, COOK COUNTY, IL
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 PAGE 12 OF 14
The 1891 Chicago Loop Quadrangle confirms that the Fullerton Lakeshore project area had not yet been extended eastern from the original Lake Michigan shoreline. By 1913, the portions of the islands upon which Lake Shore Drive east of the old shoreline area were built and are in place. All of the subsequent aerial photographs show the Theatre-on-the-Lake facility in place and the Fullerton Shoreline Protection Project is noted to be in place as it generally appears today. No suspect property uses at he site or in near vicinity to it suggest any potential HTRW issues. SITE VISIT Two (2) GSI staff members visited the Chicago Shoreline, Reach 4 Fullerton Project project site on October 5, 2012. The purpose of the inspection was to overview the current site conditions and to examine the area for evidence of potential HTRW and other environmental issues. The site visit was documented with photographs, provided in Appendix B. The weather conditions on the day of the site visit were overcast, +40°F, with winds from the north/northeast. The project limits begin approximately 600 feet north of W. Fullerton Parkway and ends approximately 750 feet south of the same. The current shoreline protection structures are in poor condition and do not provide adequate storm damage protection (see Photos). The step stone revetment has deteriorated, and the lakebed is partially covered with stone debris. The wood crib structures have broken down, and many of the steel tie rods are bent. No evidence of stressed vegetation exists in the project area, and no general refuse was found on the project site. No evidence of HTRW or non-HTRW issues was noted during the site investigation. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS This HTRW investigation was performed to determine if the selected plan for Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project will have an impact on any HTRW occurrences that may exist in the surrounding areas, and if HTRW problems will have an impact on the implementation of the selected plan. According to ER 1165-2-132, non-HTRW environmental issues that do not comply with federal, state, and local regulations should be discussed in the HTRW evaluation along with HTRW issues. The Environmental Assessment presented in the Illinois Shoreline Interim III Study (USACE 1993) concludes that the Chicago Shoreline Storm Damage Reduction Project would not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. In addition, the project will not have a significant impact upon the biological, social, cultural, or physical resources of the area. A review of the Environmental Assessment and additional existing information specific to Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project, confirmed the conclusion that the placement
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION FULLERTON SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT PROJECT NO. 12166 CHICAGO SHORELINE, COOK COUNTY, IL
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 PAGE 13 OF 14
of a new step stone revetment structure will not have a significant impact on the project area and environment. Implementation of the selected plan at Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project will not have a significant impact on the project area’s sediment quality, water quality, or soil quality. Furthermore, the results of this investigation reveal that it is unlikely that there are HTRW issues at the project site or in the surrounding areas that will have an impact on the project site. The project site is separated from the nearby residential and commercial properties by multiple land uses including a federal highway and parkland. The properties and any associated environmental concerns will have a minimal impact on the Fullerton Shoreline Restoration Project site. No HTRW investigation can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for HTRW associated with a project area. Performance of the HTRW investigation is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for HTRW in connection with a project area.

CERCLIS/NFRAP The CERCLIS List is a compilation by the EPA of facilities which the EPA has investigated or is currently investigating for a release or threatened release of hazardous substances pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund Act). NFRAP sites are CERCLIS sites which have been designated "No Further Remediation Action Planned"
Federal NPL/(Delisted NPL) The National Priorities List (NPL) is the EPA's database of uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste facilities identified for priority remedial actions under the Superfund program. A site must meet or surpass a predetermined hazard ranking system score, be chosen as a state's top priority site, or meet three specific criteria set jointly by the US Dept. of Health and Human Services and the USEPA in order to become an NPL site.

RCRA Violation/Enforcement Records In the event any of the above noted facilities are identified within the specified search radii, the USEPA Violator/Enforcement reports, which list compliance and enforcement records, are crossed referenced with the identified facility to determine if there are any significant concerns with the listed facility.
Freedom of Information (FOI) Requests Based on proximity to the project site, local hydrogeologic conditions and other available information, FOI requests to the USEPA and/or IEPA for select facilities may be requested. The files requested are determined based on our professional opinion in the likelihood of facilities being able to impact the project site and the likelihood that the records can be obtained in a timely manner.

State Priority List of Hazardous Waste Sites: The IEPA maintains an inventory of facilities subject to investigations concerning likely or threatened releases of hazardous substances from those facilities (Category Sites List). This list is roughly equivalent to the Federal NPL list at the state level. Please note that the IEPA Category Sites List identifies sites by facility name and community only and that the state discontinued issuing updated versions of this list in 1997. We carefully review all other Federal and State databases when there are Category Site List facilities identified in a community to cross reference a facility to determine if it falls within the specified search radius, however, we cannot guarantee all Category Site List facilities are identified. If a facility is also included in the SRP list, we reference it below and not in this category.

Due to the limitations, constraints, and inaccuracies and incompleteness of government information and computer mapping data currently available to FirstSearchTechnology Corp., certain conventions have been utilized in preparing the locations of all federal, state and local agency sites residing in FirstSearch Technology Corp.'sdatabases. All EPA NPL and state landfill sites are depicted by a rectangle approximating their location and size. The boundaries of the rectangles represent the easternand western most longitudes; the northern and southern most latitudes. As such, the mapped areas may exceed the actual areas and do not represent the actualboundaries of these properties. All other sites are depicted by a point representing their approximate address location and make no attempt to represent the actualareas of the associated property. Actual boundaries and locations of individual properties can be found in the files residing at the agency responsible for suchinformation.
Although FirstSearch Technology Corp. uses its best efforts to research the actual location of each site, FirstSearch Technology Corp. does not and can not warrant theaccuracy of these sites with regard to exact location and size. All authorized users of FirstSearch Technology Corp.'s services proceeding are signifying an understandingof FirstSeaarch Technology Corp.'s searching and mapping conventions, and agree to waive any and all liability claims associated with search and map results showingincomplete and or inaccurate site locations.

NPL: EPA NATIONAL PRIORITY LIST - The National Priorities List is a list of the worst hazardous waste sites that have beenidentified by Superfund. Sites are only put on the list after they have been scored using the Hazard Ranking System (HRS),and have been subjected to public comment. Any site on the NPL is eligible for cleanup using Superfund Trust money. ASuperfund site is any land in the United States that has been contaminated by hazardous waste and identified by theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a candidate for cleanup because it poses a risk to human health and/or theenvironment.FINAL - Currently on the Final NPLPROPOSED - Proposed for NPL NPL DELISTED: EPA NATIONAL PRIORITY LIST Subset - Database of delisted NPL sites. The National Oil and HazardousSubstances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) establishes the criteria that the EPA uses to delete sites from the NPL.
